So I have a JVC Everio Camcorder that records in HD, but I'm unable to view the videos from it on my PC, which is about 4 years old and running Windows Vista. They keep coming up as MTS files, and I think that's why I can't watch anything from it. Does anybody know a editing software programme that's available in the UK that I could use to either edit the MTS files as they are, or convert them into something I can use?

I got thrown out of a window! What's the f***ing charge for getting pushed out of a moving car, huh? Jaywalking?

My father gave me one piece of advice. He said "Always. .." No, he said "Never..." well actually he gave me two pieces of advice, I've forgotten the other one. But the important one is, "Never chase a man over a cliff".

As far as i know there are several freeware supports to convert .MTS video to other popular video formats; Handbrake and Freemake are all good selection, completely free and no other cost. Handbrake has both windows and Mac version, I have test Handbrake for converting a short .MTS video to mp4, it works well.

Though this is 2 years old and I'm probably replying to a post bump by a spambot, I do use Handbrake. It's not the most intuitive program but it works to compress video file sizes fairly well to the video quality once you get the hang of it.
